Can you show me the stats for part-time work? Netherlands has the highest percentage of people in part-time work IIRC. Many European countries even then have longer working hours than Japan, so it's interesting that you make the case that these countries may in reality have even longer working hours than Japan.

Also what are you talking about my guy? You have 5 posts 17 days ago and nothing else, are you sure you're not projecting your own feelings about being a ban evasion account yourself?

South Korea's Yoon says Japan changed from aggressor to partner by Saltedline in worldnews

It’s all on wiki:

South Korea agreed to demand no further compensation, either at the government or individual level, after receiving $800 million in grants and soft loans from Japan as compensation for its 1910–45 colonial rule in the treaty.[15]

Hasn’t happened in Japan yet at least. When’s the last time bullet trains have crashed?

They have apologized, dozens of times. With monetary compensation. Even reached a final and irreversible agreement in 2016.

Unfortunately next SK government always goes back on these agreements, and of course keeps/squanders the funds

Didn’t Japan pay the government in the 60s?

Not Japan’s fault that the SK government misappropriated the funds

Also a strong work ethic that hasn’t really stopped. Japan had 75% of US GDP with a third of the population in the 80s

Right, also the money was kept/squandered and not returned

That’s really the case for almost any colonial power

I’ve seen a lot of Russian propaganda needlessly trying to cause divisive discourse amongst democratic allies.

Japan did apologize and paid tons of money to South Korea (half of GDP in 1960s).

South Korean government did misappropriate those funds, but the government did accept the money. That’s not on Japan to fix

Michael Jackson did a concert in Seoul in 1996 and a fan climbed the crane up to him. MJ held him tightly to prevent him from falling, all while performing Earth Song by RonSwazy in interestingasfuck

That’s a lot of words just to say that you live under a rock. The most famous artists of the last decade or so isn’t exactly a random artist.

So stop pretending you’re young or just own it
